THE FISHERIES.
The Proposition of Lord Salisbury
Severely Criticised.

TORONTO, April 23.-The Globe, today,
referring to Lord Salisbury's proposition for
the settlement of the fishery question, said:
'Lord Salisbury proposes an abject sur
render to the Washington government. Not
a surrender of anything belonging to the
English of Great Britain, but the surr ender
of much valuable property belonging to the
Britons of Canada, and the surrender of
every main contention upheld by the Canad-
ian people, We pointed out the other day
that the issue between Canada and the
United States was such that one or the other
must yield absolutely unless general settle
ment evading that issue could be arrived at
One has been reached. 1t consists of giving
everything to the United States and in dis
gracing and dishonoring the people of this
country as they could never be dsgraced
and dishonored by manfully defending their
rights even to the point of war. The offer
OF the Tory premier is cowardly, despicable
and treacherous to Canada, and should it be
ratified by the Dominion Parliament it will
never again be possible to assert the right to
exclude American fishermen from our in
shore waters"

Queer Way In Which Veteran Postal
Clerk was Removed.
belfast Journal


Mr. w. b. Snow Of Winterport has been
appointed postal clerk on the railroad route
between Belfast and Burnham in place Of
Mr.. j. w. Knowlton.. Mr.. Snow is young
man lately in business in Winterport. He
has entered upon his duties and Mr. Knowl-
ton will remain until he has learned the
ropes. Mr.. Knowlton has been connected
with the mail service for nearly twenty
seven years-ten years on the stage between
Belfast and Augusta and nearly seventeen
years on the railroad between Belfast and
Burnham. He went on when the road first
opened. and had been faithful, competent
and very obliging official. He will be greatly
missed from his post, here, as well as along
the line. The manner Of his removal is pc
culiar, to say the least. When a special
agent of the Post Office Department was
here few weeks ago Mr.. Knewlton re-
marked to him that he was looking for other
business and if he found 1t should resign in
June. The other day he was notified that
his resignation had been accepted, although
